SPG Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Noticed this car was up for auction shortly, remember seeing it on the TG episode: https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/index.php?option=com_bidding&view=commission&layout=details&id=13605&pn=1&el=13605&pp=50 I can’t remember the member who owned this, but am I right in thinking he sold it shortly after the TG appearance? Should be interesting to watch the price this one brings in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) This will be a good gauge as to the market here in the UK. To many this car is the holy grail of Supras. To me, the higher the price the better. Edited February 10, 2021 by mwilkinson (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I heard the owner resigned his forum membership because of the 'banter' he received. It was the NI car brought over that turned out to be a bit rusty and the current owner threw a shed load of cash at the car having the underneath sprayed and some new parts fitted. He did then try to sell it and listed it on forum, but with no takers doubled down and put it through a lot of expensive restorative work instead. Jungle drums have whispered what the car owes him so I would expect it has to have at least a £50k reserve so he can walk away taking a big hit.

Tyson Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Was bought by a member called RSB whom I believe is the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Looks like his old threads were pulled when he asked to be pulled. Shame as they detailed a lot of the work that was done on the car after it arrived from Northern Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m12aak Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Not sure if anyone else realised the auction was over the weekend (it just popped into my head this morning that it was last week), but this ended up going for £47,250 according to the site (presumably this doesn't include the extra fees + VAT, which'll take it to £62,606.25 by my calculation). https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/sa073-lot-426-1993-toyota-supra-twin-turbo-manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buyer will pay £47250 + 12% then vat on the 12% and ends up at just under £55k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Perfect timing, my insurance is due next month and I’ve been looking for adverts to support an increased Agreed Value. Lovely car and a strong price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that is as nice a Supra as anyone is ever likely to find, the fact that it's an auto will make it a relative bargain. How much would that be worth as a manual?

Pete Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hammer price was £42k so the extra must've been fees etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Just over £34K, I don't actually think that is that bad, but it would be hard to use it meaningfully, will I suspect largely just keep on sitting somewhere looking pretty!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGRT Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Came to post the same thing. It will stay in a dry garage for a few years until we see it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
